Modus Plan™

Automatic Tractography Segmentation Access patient specific bundles of interest within seconds.


Synaptive’s aim is to drive automation to optimize the surgical workflow. In 2014, we introduced automated whole brain tractography to the market. We are taking this one step further – with BrightMatter™ AutoSeg our tractography is now automatically bundled so surgeons can see patient-specific bundles of interest within seconds. This information can be combined with vascular, bone, and functional imaging, allowing users to see their patient in new ways to offer better treatment.

Easy access to tractography

Synaptive generates tracts throughout the entire brain automatically, making it easy for the surgical team to access tractography for every patient.

With BrightMatter AutoSeg, tracts are automatically grouped into patient-specific bundles of interest such as the corticospinal tract, arcuate fasciculus and the optic radiations, so surgeons can easily isolate these bundles of interest, to help avoid key areas of the brain.

Tractography that is automatically generated is simple enough for users to add to their post-op toolboxes; tractography can now be used to track patients longitudinally.

Enables precision medicine to support value-based care

Allows surgeons to access patient-specific information to perform immersive simulations of various surgical approaches, and tailor their treatment to that individual patient.

Implement tool-specific workflows, including tubular retractors such as NICO BrainPath® for port-based, minimally invasive procedures.

Open architecture provides a complete picture

Plan has an open architecture that allows users to bring in any DICOM series with ease.

Combine tractography with the following to create multi-modal patient images and plan safer surgery:
- vascular imaging, such as CTA, MRA, XA
- bone imaging, such as CT
- functional imaging, such as fMRI

Modus Plan is modular: users can export data to Synaptive systems for surgical navigation, or to third party systems.
